Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the overall performance and compatibility of the "1.3' USB-to-RS-232 (DB9) PDA/Serial Adapter Cable, with Prolific Chipset". Users appreciate its USB functionality and ease of use. The price is also considered a bargain, and driver installation is straightforward. However, some customers have noted that the cable length is quite short.

    It works for what it's designed to do. I like the black color. It blends with the rest of the cables I use. SMFH

    Nice for when you have a modern laptop that no longer has a 9-pin RS-232 port. Some of us still need the old comm ports for work use.

    PDA/Serial Adapter CABLE

    This item is called a PDA/Serial Adapter Cable BUT it only has a 1 foot long cable which is NOT long enough to be useful. This means that if you buy this $20 item, you'll need to buy the 6 foot cable extension for another $25 to make it complete and useful.

    Dumb part - But when you need it you need it. BB having it in stock is what I needed, so 15 minutes later we were able to move forward with our project.

    Serial/USB cable seems to works just fine in place of serial connector where pins have broken off in connector.
